Is T-5 216 watts enough lighting for a RBTA in a 90 gallon?

I have people that told me i don't have enough lighting for a RBTA with T-5 lighting and 216 watts in a 90 gallon tank is this true?
 
what brand fixture do you have? some t5s are better at others. they have a better grade reflector.
 
The NOVA fixture in my 72, which is T-5 216W keeps my BTA's just fine.

Plan to target feed the RBTA as well, and you should be OK, as long as your tank is old enough to support one, and your water parameters are good.
